As its pathway forward and part of Cycling SA’s 2016/2020 vision, the Cycling SA track cycling commission’s focus is on the Team Pursuit and Team Sprint events rather than on individual events. This has allowed for the inclusion of a team of cyclists whom will then be nominated to ride in the individual events.
